Don’t Skimp on Safety! Door Barriers May Not Be Required — But Safety Should Always Come First

ree

As temperatures cool down and families spend more time indoors, safety around sliding patio doors should remain at the top of your priority list. Even if your city or county doesn’t currently require door barriers or child-safety latches, the risk of accidental access to a pool or outdoor hazards is still very real.


At Slide Right Door & More, we see firsthand how a simple device can prevent a serious situation.

✅ Safety Isn’t Optional — Even When Codes Say Otherwise

Regulations vary by location. You might not need alarms, barriers, or additional latching systems to pass inspection, but that doesn’t mean your home is fully protected.

Consider:

  • Curious toddlers following a pet outside

  • Kids trying to explore while caregivers are momentarily distracted

  • Doors left unlocked during gatherings or busy mornings

Accidents happen quickly — silent and unexpected. Proactive safety devices make sure a sliding door doesn’t become an easy exit.

What Safety Add-Ons Can Do for You

✔ Block unauthorized access✔ Add a second layer of protection beyond standard locks✔ Increase your peace of mind — whether awake or sleeping✔ Help prevent backyard and pool-side accidents

We offer multiple safety solutions, including:

  • Secondary door latches

  • Child-proof door barriers

  • Improved sliding hardware to ensure a secure close

  • Optional alarms where required

These upgrades are affordable and easy to integrate into your existing system — no major remodel required.

Thinking Beyond Compliance

A home that meets city code is a minimum standard. Safety should exceed the basics — especially when children or grandchildren are part of the picture.

Why rely on “just enough” when extra protection is available?
